Effective April
2009, labels on pork and packaged meats from processor/marketer Smithfield
Foods will state that the products were made only from hogs born and raised in
the U.S. Smithfield will label fresh pork according to country of origin
labeling (COOL) guidelines for retail as born, raised and processed in the U.S.
This contrasts with manufacturers such as Tyson Foods, some of whose products
will use COOL labels that list more than one country as possible points of
origin.
